#Strava

Garmin is rolling out a new feature in its Connect app that allows users to share workouts in a more visual and customizable way similar to a popular feature from Strava. Although the concept is not new, Strava has offered similar sharing tools for years, Garmin’s version focuses on flexibility. The move comes amid growing competition between Garmin and Strava, as both platforms continue to improve their social and sharing features to keep users engaged. Strava has expanded its platform with support for 10 additional languages. Strava says the expansion is part of its broader global growth strategy. Five new sport categories are being added to Strava's activity tracking choices, providing its 180 million+ members worldwide with additional ways to precisely record their activities. Strava identified padel as its most important new sport because it attracts players from around the world who compete in various levels and professional players who exceed 30 million worldwide. Strava confirmed that it will introduce new activity types in the future but the company has not yet disclosed which sports will be included or their upcoming release schedule.
